| | CIS: Historical Sketch |
 | | In 1930 the inhabitants of Massachusetts numbered 4,249,614, of whom 65.04% were either foreign-born or of foreign or mixed parentage. | | | Winthrop moved from Salem to Charlestown and thence to Boston, other settlements were founded, and by 1640 the immigrants in Massachusetts numbered 16,000, all seeking greater opportunity and a free environment for their dissentient religious views. | | | Rioting and boycotts brought about the repeal of the Sugar Act in 1766, but other repressive measures followed and the people of Massachusetts were active in their defiance of each new imposition. |

| | Gosnold’s ship is the ‘Concord’, and he takes with him 23 settlers seeking a fresh start in the New World. | | | When the fourth returned, Gosnold again got out his map, explained what had been done, and asked the last daughter to select something on the map. | | | Christopher Columbus was a clever propagandist, while, as Kurlansky notes with smile, “the Basques, wanting to keep a good secret, had never claimed it for anyone”. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Massachusetts |
| | Gorges and his associated had found the French and their Jesuit missionaries a stumbling-block in the way of securing fur-trading privileges from the Indians. | | | The alleged gold and copper mines of Smith and of Gosnold were now regarded as myths; unless something could be done at once, the opportunities offered by their charter monopoly would be worthless. | | | The frequently published statement in justification of Cromwell's persecution, that the victimes of this white slave-traffic were criminals, finds no corroboration in the existence of a single penal colony in this country. |
